2.1. Setting up Suunto t1

Carry on setting up the time, date,
units and your personal settings.
After this, Suunto t1 will go into
Time mode and will be ready for
operation.

Adjust with + and – buttons.

Accept with MODE button.

When you press a button on your new Suunto t1 for the first time, you will be asked to define some
basic settings. Use the + and - buttons to change the values, accept and move to the next item
by pressing the MODE button.

The following figure shows you how to set up your device for the first time.

NOTE

Your maximum heart rate is determined using the formula 210 minus 0.65
times your age, which is automatically calculated from the date of birth that
you enter. If you know your real maximum heart rate, you should use that
instead of the calculated value.

Navigating in the Settings menus is very easy. Follow the position of the blinking empty box and
you will know exactly where in the Settings menu you are. You can quick exit the Settings menu
and go back to the Time mode by pressing START button.

2.2. Activity class (act class)

Important: Your activity class is another one of the settings that you are asked to define when

you set up your device for the first time. Your activity class is a measure of your current activity
level. By entering your current activity class (1 - 10) into your Suunto t1, the device will be able to
give much more accurate calorie consumption information. As the amount and/or intensity of your
physical activity increases, the device will automatically increase your activity class based on your
